[Pdns-users] in.addr-arpa delegation

[Max Clark]

Hi all,

I have a couple of questions on delegation with PowerDNS. To delegate
subnets smaller than a /24 (let's say 10.0.0.0/29) I have been
creating records like this:

0/29.0.0.10.in-addr.arpa ns ns1.foo.com
0/29.0.0.10.in-addr.arpa ns ns2.foo.com

and then:

1.0.0.10.in-addr.arpa CNAME 1.0/29.0.0.10.in-addr.arpa
2.0.0.10.in-addr.arpa CNAME 2.0/29.0.0.10.in-addr.arpa
3.0.0.10.in-addr.arpa CNAME 3.0/29.0.0.10.in-addr.arpa
4.0.0.10.in-addr.arpa CNAME 4.0/29.0.0.10.in-addr.arpa

in my 0.0.10.in-addr.arpa zone file.

First question - is there an easier/better way to do this?

Second question - for delegations of /24 and above, what is the
recommended/proper way to perform the delegation to another name
server?

TIA,
Max
